Converting from Gigaparsec (Gpc) to Light Hour (lh)

What is Gigaparsec (Gpc)

A Gigaparsec (Gpc) is a unit of astronomical distance equal to one billion parsecs. It is commonly used in cosmology to measure large distances in the universe.

What is Light Hour (lh)

A Light Hour (lh) is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one hour. It is also used as a unit of astronomical distance, especially when discussing celestial bodies and their sizes.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Gigaparsecs to Light Hours, you can use the following formulas:

• 1 Gpc=28590870000000 lh

• 1 lh=0.0000000000000349762 Gpc

Examples

1. Converting 14 Gigaparsecs to Light Hours:

   • 14 Gpc * 28590870000000 = 400272200000000 lh

2. Converting 11 Light Hours to Gigaparsecs:

   • 11 lh * 0.0000000000003847382 = 0.00000000000042321102 Gpc

3. Converting 8 Gigaparsecs to Light Hours:

   • 8 Gpc * 28590870000000 = 228726900000000 lh

These examples demonstrate the conversion process between Gigaparsecs and Light Hours using the specified conversion rates.
